Palestine Tet – 24 – Norman Finkelstein chastises Bernie Sanders for opposing a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza

Normal Finkelstein responds to Bernie Sanders opposing Gaza ceasefire
I really never thought the day would come when I would join those excoriating Bernie Sanders… but it has come. Bernie is only a year or two older than I. We started life in the same neighborhood – Flatbush – in Brooklyn, both within blocks of Erasmus High School on Flatbush Ave. Politically at least, our life journeys have been similar. Both in 2016 and 2020 our family came out strong for him. No more.
His failure to come out in support of a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine is unforgivable.
And no one excoriates Bernie better than Norman Finkelstein. A shame – but time to get it out there … and then move on.

A bit memorable today that Norman Finkelstein wrote the book “This Time We Went Too Far” in 2010, castigating Israel for its 2008 rape of Gaza. Wow! Some food for thought here. Prescient Norman deserves a tip of the hat here along with some contemplation as to why we seldom see/hear him on the major news outlets. In my case it’s Never see/hear him.
